Noiseless Telecaster Texas Special?

[Pabs]

Hello all,

Loving the Texas Specials in my Telecaster but in certain venues they can be a little noisy. Can anyone recommended an equivalent in terms of tone and output that is noiseless? Dare I say it but it can be other brands than SD if it nails what I’m after. Thanks.

I’ve never used the Tele Texas Specials, but the Lace set in my Tele Plus is awesome. I had TS in a Strat, and think these might be in a similar direction. Hotter and bigger than vintage, but still sound very much like a Tele, plus they’re totally noiseless.

Fender's Noiseless pickups are truly noiseless. Lace Sensors are very quiet, Bill Lawrence the same.

Those are pretty hot pickups, which still sound like Tele pickups. I'd say to check out the Vintage Stack for the neck. The closest to the bridge pickup is the Hot Stack, which is a little hotter, so you will lose the very high end. Another (expensive) choice is the Five Two Stack, which is a little rounder than the Fender pickups, but still sounds like a Tele.
